Funny how it looks normal and care-free like Germany in the 1920s, and how it looks like Germany in the mid 1930s now. I wonder why...

Germany in the 1920s
You mean two years after they lost a war? Yeah, very care-free
Guy riding a fucking bike into it, the old pool somehow lasted through that attack
He was actually getting the bike out of it. Its acutally where all bikes came from before 1992 and bull clintnn.
The British have always based their government on a similar mechanism, despite the occasional protest:
"Listen: strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."
It doesn't work with bicycles either.

I think that's a unicycle, which makes both more, and less, sense.

You can just walk in it?
You can, but these days you can only do it once.
Watch out for leeches, there’s bloodsuckers all over that property
Especially in the White House and Congress.

Hold on. It used to be... blue?!
It is reflecting the blue sky, as it was designed to do.
Painting the bottom blue so algae would form and ruin the reflective properties of the reflecting pool broke it.

The sky, yes.
You could say that it was showing a reflection of the sky.
Imagine literally being the fascist who tells everyone to get out of the pool (for reasons).
Or you know what, don't, your sanity is too valuable.

America in the 2010s is the new Iran in the 1970s.
Fascists don’t do revolutions, they do coups or takeovers. Revolutions advance society, fascists only regress it.
it's a joke about a similar picture about Iran
That is definitely not true lol. Revolutions can lead to power vacuums that can makes things even worse

And like in every other picture set like this, it was America's fault things changed.

Like Iran in the 70s
For everyone who doesn’t know. An anecdotal summary (look up yourself for facts, i am just recalling from memory)
Irans democratic elected ruler tried to nationalise the oil industry which was largely controlled by the UK and US who then staged a coup to reinstate and support the monarchy in return for securing them that control.
This made a lot of people in Iran very angry with the West.
That monarch went kinda mad with oppressive power to the point that the clergy was the only real opposition left. Which created the conditions that started the islamic revolution.
And we seemingly learned nothing as one of the Trump regime early ideas for the current war with Iran was to reinstate and back the monarchy with the current last descendant living in the US.

Stranger things have happened. I could see a timeline that goes like:
-
The election in 2028 is blatantly stolen by Republicans, establishing a mask-off dictatorship.
-
After a decade, they're eventually ousted by a popular front consisting of civil society advocates, leftist organizers and activists, and religious movements.
-
As the regime falls, the religious movement takes over everything and establishes an overt theocracy.

It's important to remember that these aren't average US citizens. These are only those wealthy enough to travel across the large country and take a vacation.
Do...do most Americans never get to see their capital? Most people I know have been to the capital of my country at least once.
Downside of the cost of living and size of the country. You actually are very lucky if you can travel.

So, where is the military?
In Afghanistan
The lawn was prohibited then.
The entire river near my house is green due to the lilly pads and constant sun on it all day. The algae bloom is nothing new but I will say that the darker the liner, the easier heat and light will absorb, so the gray one was actually doing more good than harm and it also apparently helped the reflecting properties appear more.
